I thought McChrystal spoke out because zero was ignoring him. It was the only way left to get his attention.

You think he didn’t try to touch base w/zer0 before he spoke out? One vital part here - we have an anti-American leader - it’s not business as usual. Can’t look back and say ‘this is the way it’s done’ - those days are over!

Just WOW is right! Wouldn’t it be something if the military turned on him and we had a mutiny?

“One vital part here - we have an anti-American leader - it’s not business as usual.”

Maybe so but most of us still follow the Constitution and like it or not, the President is the CIC not matter how anti-American he or she is.

He should of resigned his commission then spoke out.

I agree that the military is to defend against enemies foreign and domestic but we aren’t there yet.

I just don't see it that way, I've accepted the fact that this Country has "elected" (another discussion) a man who has no allegiance to this Country and is hell bent on destroying it.

Setting aside his legitimacy issues, he was raised in his formative years as a mooslimb in a country that has no love for the USA, why would he have any now.

His whole life has been surrounded by communist/marxist and anti American friends, am I supposed to think he has America's or our Military's best interest at heart? No, not me.

I applaud the General standing up for his men, he's the only one that can

I'm not defending zero but if this allowed by the rank and file then when a conservative president is elected we won't want them breaking discipline.

Extremely dangerous precedent, but he certainly isn't making any friends.

I detest this man, along with the media and most of congress for the position he/they have put us in

I know you're not defending zer0 but this time it's different, at least in my view.

This is the first time we have had a blatant, America hating man in the office of the presidency.

It's a hard fact to accept but IMO it's true an am commenting accordingly.

Indeed, time will tell.

For the sake of our men and women serving, I hope he makes the right decision.

This fine General had only been contacted by and talked with this muzzie CiC once since the enemy within was elected by acorn. I have been told by someone that knows that it was not for the lack of trying. What does that tell you?

A CIC is supposed to publish a National Security Strategy. This is a guideline for Military leaders to use when a situation is not black and white in regard to Regulations. Right now, general officers down through first tier noncommissioned officers have no executive guidance.

He has no policies for national security, the economy, or health care reform.

He is voting present, not as a US Senator, but as the POTUS.

I WANT TO KNOW WHY THEY ARE LETTING OUR GUYS BE MURDERED....WHY DONT THEY HAVE BACK UP?

The media would not let up if President Bush were doing this. But as it were, they're acting like taking a trip to Copenhagen for a day while this is going on is no big deal. Oh the hypocricy!
